problem to load flash in IE

[programAngel]

Hi I have used the following code to embedded flash in my website:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"
width="961" height="154" >
<embed src="http://hamaakav.co.il/wp-content/themes/periodic/images/misc/banner.swf" width="961" height="154" play="true" loop="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>

now when I load my website in chrome and firefox the flash work just fine.

When I use IE it just doesn't load the flash:

This is the website the flash is the rectangular in the upper part of the page.

Hi there programAngel,

try it like this...

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://hamaakav.co.il/wp-content/themes/periodic/images/misc/banner.swf" width="961" height="154">
<param name="movie" value="http://hamaakav.co.il/wp-content/themes/periodic/images/misc/banner.swf" />
</object>

coothead has posted a good method... single <object> code... works well.
The old <object><embed> method you were trying to use will also work (though it will not validate). But you forgot to add the "movie" param to the <object> like this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"
width="961" height="154" >
<param name="movie" value="http://hamaakav.co.il/wp-content/themes/periodic/images/misc/banner.swf" />

<embed src="http://hamaakav.co.il/wp-content/themes/periodic/images/misc/banner.swf" width="961" height="154" play="true" loop="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>

In IE I experience this problem: I try to load a test page, which has a lot of pictures and a heavy background . And i place the banner, which is added with java script before all that content.

Eye for Video,

I did as you had suggested, and it worked.

Thanks a lot.
